She openly shares her surgical experiences on Instagram with her 15 thousand followers but recognises the glossy social media accounts of celebrities and influencers are putting pressure on young people to live up to the current beauty ideals.

She believes this is contributing to the rise of cosmetic surgery, and specifically, invasive procedures such as the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL).

The BBL is the most invasive surgery that Stacey has undergone and she has been thinking about this procedure for almost four years - social media served as the final push towards the surgery table.

"You do more things [cosmetic procedures] and then you find out about more things," the influencer said. "It’s just like a snowball effect from there."

Psychologists are quick to point out the negative psychological role of social media in determining 'beauty'.

"Social media is just a new form of media that exposes us to and thereby shapes what we perceive to be and what we think of as beauty," said Ryan Kaplan, clinical psychologist at the Sydney Body Dysmorphic Disorder and Body Image Clinic.

From a psychologist’s perspective, being exposed to the surgically retouched images on Instagram can have its down sides on self-esteem and can result to Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD).

"People who are more likely to engage in comparisons of themselves, especially in regards to appearance, tend to be more negatively affected by what they see," said Kaplan.

"People who have body dysmorphia often engage in self comparison, often an obsessive kind of self-comparison using social media."

BDD is a relatively common disorder, with a reported prevalence rate in Australia of around 2.3 per cent.

However, the danger is that many patients have likely consulted with cosmetic surgeons before seeing a psychologist.

One study showed three quarters of BDD patients sought procedures like rhinoplasty or breast implants before getting mental health treatment.

"Social media is one of the main driving forces behind the BBL and the changes in body ideals that social media is causing," said Dr. William Anderson, a surgeon at Sydney cosmetic surgery clinic, Cosmos Clinic.

With the influence of the Kardashians, the current social media body is the curvy type.

The small-waist-big-derriere combination is the coveted look that many influencers and young people are trying to achieve.

"We see more and more clients asking for a curvy look when they come in and request procedures," the cosmetic doctor said.

"I think that’s really being influenced by social media."

Australia’s cosmetic and plastic surgery industry is worth $2 billion a year. With the rise of social media, Australians are consuming $350m worth of anti-wrinkle injections and 30,000 liposuction procedures.

"The pervasiveness of social media is what makes it so much more powerful than traditional media," Kaplan, the psychologist, said.

"I think a lot of people feel pressure to live up to certain ideals and standards of beauty."

"People are impressionable when they’re young and sometimes they can make decisions based on what they see on Instagram," said Anderson.

Despite the numerous cosmetic procedures that Stacey underwent, she disagrees that social media is the main driving force behind her cosmetic decisions.

"I definitely got my procedure done for myself and not because I’ve seen someone else get it done," Stacey said.
